Wester
Coaster
April
2007
Even though I
am interested mostly in going to California, this piece could not survive
without the other two states. Somehow they will always be fused together
in my mind, as an entity and as a set of personalities.
We all talk about wanting to live in different places when we get there,
all spread out and speckled up the coast line. But to me, the reality
is that we will all end up in the same city, this West Coast dream finally
coming true. These possibilities pushed me to make this coast, stuffed
and attractive, smashed together with hands ailing from fast heartbeats.
Its immediacy and packed-full quality is important to me. Though I have
had this dream for a long time, I don't know when I will be going. But
when I do leave, it will look like this. Jumbled and crumpled, soft and
laid out in front of me
